Morning Edition: Expanded Gambling In Connecticut?
Governor Malloy wants an 'aggressive lottery.'
The Connecticut Mirror's Mark Pazniokas looked at how Governor Dannell Malloy is taking a broad look at new ways to bring more gambling revenue into state coffers. Mark Pazniokas joins us now by phone.
From Pazniokas' story:
With competition rising on all sides, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says he is working with the Mashantucket Pequots and Mohegans to stabilize their market share -- and Connecticut's 25 percent cut of the gross profits from their slot machines.
The governor is pledging a new era of cooperation with the tribes, even if that means taking a look at online wagering. With so much money on the line, Connecticut has to stay in the game.
"It is a big issue for us," Malloy recently told The Mirror. "Obviously, we have to be concerned."
